VOL. XXI, No. 75. MANY GROWERS SEE ORCHARD TRACTOR EXHIBITED LAST SAT. Little Avery "Bull Dog" Weaves Thru Trees in Sandy Soil The first problem bumped up against when the rancher begins to think of buying a tractor, as practically all Orange-co ranchers are now thinking, is the matter of size to fit the extent of his orchard and the conditions of his soil. If he has a large orchard, he can find it profitable to purchase a large tractor. If he has a small orchard he must find a small tractor commensurate with the price he can pay, and still it must do the work. Demonstration Saturday This latter phase was ably demonstrated Saturday before a large number of ranchers at a public exhibition conducted by Manager Edw. L. Olmstead of the Orange Co. ARRIVES IN GOTHA W. L. Waltman received a visit this morning that his brother, Weasel Waitman, had just landed from France in New York. He left Aheim June 25 for Camp Kearny, arrived in France in less than weeks with the 145th field artillery. He is expected to return to his position here with the Puritan Cleaners.

MAN SAYS THIS DISTRICT MOST FORTUNATE Says Interior Navels Ruined While Tender Shoots Here Escape As continued reports of the frost damage to the citrus industry of the interior grow more alarming, there is increasing elation among those fortunate enough to own orange or lemon groves in the Anaheim district. For several years The Plain Dealer has announced in its editorial caption with each issue the Board of Trade's slogan "Anaheim—the Frostless Belt." This Clinches It There may have been doubts as to the correctness of this bold assertion in the minds of some who were not satisfied with the one severe test The second entertainment of the Lyceum course will be given in the high school auditorium on Wednesday evening Jan. 8 at 8 o'clock. Mr. Adrian M. Newens, an interpreter and monologist, head of the public speakers department of Iowa College, will give the program. He has appeared on the best Lyceum programs, and has been enthusiastically received wherever he has appeared. The first number of the course was a lecture given by Brooks Fletcher. From an entertainment standpoint it was a huge success, but from attendance it was a great disappointment to those who are backing the enterprise. Unless a greater interest is taken by the public in these entertainments the backers will be called upon to put up the money to defray the expense. It is hoped there will be a large attendance on Wednesday evening. WATCH IS RETURNED Last summer Edith Dilley of Santa Ana, lcast a monogrammed wrist watch on Broadway in Los Angeles. She advertised in a Los Angeles paper, but received no reply until a day or two ago. Her watch was picked up by a young man who retained it until Christmas when he gave it to a young woman friend. On account of the monogram she questioned him as to where he obtained it. When she learned he had found it, the advertisements in the back files were gone over by her and the owner was located. The watch was then returned anonymously with this explanation. FINLEY CHAIRMAN Col. S. H. Finley of Santa Ana has been selected as county chairman for the drive by which $15,000 at least is to be raised in Orange-co for the Armenian-Assyrian relief fund. Orange-co has already raised a portion of its quota. This money came thru the Sunday schools of the county. Just how much remains to be collected has not been determined. WIDOW IS LICENSED As a result of teachers' examinations conducted by the County Board of Education, a certificates to teach in grammar schools of the county was awarded to Mrs. Hazel M. Maxwell, widow of Charles C. Maxwell, who was a deputy sheriff of this For several years The Plain Dealer has announced in its editorial caption with each issue the Board of Trade's slogan "Anaheim—the Frostless Belt." This Clinches It There may have been doubts as to the correctness of this bold assertion in the minds of some who were not satisfied with the one severe test thru which the district alone passed most gratifyingly six years ago, but there can be none now with Anaheim producing the proof a second time to clinch it. It is a fact that many growers of the district, entirely accustomed to going to bed each night without thought of smudge pots or danger of frost, do not really appreciate the enormous advantage they have over the less fortunately situated interior citrus districts, including some not so far away. Take It As Matter of Course A county official of Riverside-co, an Anaheim visitor Sunday, made this statement: "Anaheim citrus growers take very complacently the fact that they have passed thru the cold wave of the last week without frostbite even to tender shoots, while the citrus industry of Riverside-co has been frozen out. "The big navel district of Riverside-co, which ten days ago promised to play such an important part with the market, has been almost completely wiped out, despite the camouflaging statements of the city papers as well as those of the interior district. "This naturally phenomena cannot but enormously increase this year's revenues of the Anaheim district, because of greatly lessened yield for the state as a whole, but it is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in accrued values to citrus groves of this vicinity." Our Climate Here is what one Anaheim realty dealer says, in commenting upon our climate. "Uniform temperature—cool in summer and warm in winter. No hills or mountain range between Anaheim's famous citrus section and the ocean to retard free passage of the ocean breeze which protects WIDOW IS LICENSED As a result of teachers' examinations conducted by the County Board of Education, a certificates to teach in grammar schools of the county was awarded to Mrs. Hazel M. Maxwell, widow of Charles C. Maxwell, who was a deputy sheriff of this county. DOUBLE BIRTHRATE Fullerton sent quite a number of boys away to the war, but tried hard to make up for the deficiency in the birth rate, by showing almost double the births in 1918 that were recorded in 1917. In 1917 there were 72 births while for the year just closed the records, show 133. BOY HUNTERS FINED Two Fullerton boys have paid Justice Goepper of Santa Ana $2.50 each, after they had pleaded guilty of hunting on ponds that are fenced and posted by the Alliso Gun Club.

Ben Baxter, Cement Plane, Pac 175R1 Planos and phonographs sold on time payments, Schmidt Music Co. Our Climate Here is what one Anaheim realty dealer says, in commenting upon our climate. "Uniform temperature—cool in summer and warm in winter. No hills or mountain range between Anaheim's famous citrus section and the ocean to retard free passage of the ocean breeze which protects the groves from damaging heat in summer, and also keeps Jack Frost on the move in winter. This even temperature causes fruit to set securely and eliminates any damage which would result if the flow of the sap should vary to any great extent by sudden changes of temperature. This strong and mature setting of the fruit makes it possible to hold it on the trees from June, when it ripens, until into the winter months, if prices do not justify it being picked. In other words the fruit may be marketed when conditions are most opportune. No smudge pots are necessary, thereby eliminating a great expense and a large amount of worry and work. For the sum that is expended in less fortunate sections for smudging a grove, one can cultivate and irrigate the grove in this more favored district; just cutting the cost of production in half." That slogan, "Anaheim The Frostless Belt," should be emblazoned far and wide, with increased enthusiasm. It has been proven. It is right. P. S.—The Plain Dealer has received an order from a subscriber to stop the paper because of the article published Friday calling attention to the fact that this district had again passed thru the cold snap safely while other districts were less fortunate. Yes, that particular subscriber lived outside "Anaheim The Frostless Belt."
